Angel voices ever singing by Edwin G. Monk — Lyrics
Angel voices, ever singing,
Round Thy throne of light,
Angel harps, forever ringing,
Rest not day or night;
Thousands only live to bless Thee,
And confess Thee
Lord of might.
Thou Who art beyond the farthest
Mortal eye can scan,
Can it be that Thou regardest
Songs of sinful man?
Can we feel that Thou art near us
And wilt hear us?
Yea, we can.
Yea, we know Thy love rejoices (or that Thou rejoicest)
O’er each work of Thine;
Thou didst ears and hands and voices
For Thy praise combine; (or design;)

About Angel voices ever singing
Edwin George Monk's hymn Angel voices ever singing is set here for SATB choir. The English text is a prayer of humble adoration and confession, acknowledging God's infinite nature and love while expressing the singers' desire to offer praise. The hymn text opens with a vision of heavenly choirs singing ceaselessly to God, then turns to the human condition, questioning God's regard for sinful man, before resolving in affirmation of God's closeness and the joy found in praising Him. The composer's setting likely matches the devout and reverent mood of the words, making it a fitting choice for sacred services.
